Saving clothes for a younger sibling works best with a simple system. Otherwise, good pieces get forgotten in a box.
Label by size and season
Use clearly marked boxes for each size and season so you can find the right items when they are needed.
Keep only what you will use
Be realistic about style, season and the younger child's needs. Sell or pass on what you are unlikely to use.
Review before each size change
Check the next box before buying anything new, and note what is missing.
